As earl. as half-past seven this mor n ing the curious begah tie take their stations on each side of Piccadilly, and •at half rot eight it wee impossible to get from or to the line by any of the branch streets ; "confus e d, urreum b eeed tudet" perzeabulated the line for the purpose of pickitur set the best spot from they could obtain a sight of their youthful and beloved Queen. Nor were those who bad se. teem] 'state at the different windows later i n t h e i r arrival. Th e e-alleries erected in front of the mansions of the late Lord. Eldon end of Lady Antrobus were, by eight o'clock, occupied with:Abe " Teeirest of Creation, the last and best of all God's works ;" ged certainly the space between lberailein-place and Apsley Mouee presented s most beautiful and grand appearance. At 9 o'clock, the - Police commenced clearing the line, and by half-past nine the road was in perfec torder for the pro eeesiee. Indeed, great credit ie. due to the'police who were seationesl at this part of the line (the T division), for the very quiet but effective way in which they did th e i r d uty. A few minutes before ten the first squadron of Lift Guards reached Hyde Park-corner, and shortly afterwards the Foreign Ambareaeors arrived, the splendour of whose carriages appeared to etc: ire the admiration of all. Marshal Soult was warmly greeted b y t h e populace. Some little confusion was here meted eresequence of the Ambatsador having broken the be.t order was soon restored, and `•The pomp, the pageantry , and the proud array " pwoeeeded. At a quarter past ten a salute eves heard n ncie that her Majesty Ned left th e palace, and this was otsg the signal for a hearty shout from th e " numbers without number." The Duebess of Kent and the Dake of Sussex were warmly greeted. At half-past ten eerNajesty's carr i age passed Apsley Howe, which— . web slow but stately pace kept on irt; course, While all tongues cried—* God, sale thee'__ y o u would have thought the : very windows spalte So man y greedy Teasel young and old Thrcugh casement'-darted their desiring eyes And that all the walls wi t h pain' ed imagery had said at once-- • Jesu reserve thee,"' Thus the gorgeous carriage of England's Queen moved on, amitht the 1 0 , 4 d a cclamations of her loyal and loving subjects, which her Majesty most graciously acknowledged, while • in ever y g esture was dignity and love." ST. JAMES'S-STREET. Viewed from St. James's Palace, the scene to the upper seed of St. James's street was of the most brilliant and ani mated description. Nearly the whole of the windows and balconies were occupied before seven &clock, and at eight reeirety R Srtt remained "emit C' l rockford' s h a d a rseculiarly splendid appearance, from the large number of elegantly attired ladies who adorned the spacious galleries which extended the whole length of the edifice. The humbler class of spectators on the footpath% had by this time assembled in considerable wusabere, a nd continued to augment every moment; and in inutreeable were the " halrebreadth escapes" of the pedes. i n attempting to cross the greet, particularly at its June -8i„ w ith Piccadilly, from the roll of carriages and passage of. stroor. The danger walsomewhat lessened, when at 8 o'clock the heriiers were closed to the public, remaining open merely for Orem rho had tickets for the Abbey. About nine o'clock the barriere were finelly closed, 5 0 , the assembly then began to Kittle into eomethinz like order, for the purpose of conve ,,i,,A.ey viewing the Preeessien Ql3 its arrival. By half-past re ale an avenue had been cum etely formed, and the crowd wsii „ A w ith the utmost impatie for the eignal vilsieb was t o announce her Majesty's e epa i from the Palace. This R'- length heard, and tee e e twenty minute: past teen the first part of the cevalcede turned into St. James's. mew :se A few miriletes afterwerels the band arrived and struck aip " God save the ceeere" erotese the warmest demonstra 'Tien,: of respect, Matehal Soult an being recognized was leedlV cheered: and the applause was proloneed as his ear rieuee proceeeled down the street. The Duchess of Kent met with an enthusiastic reception. - and the Duke of Sussex was greeted with immense cheering. The waving of handcer ehiefe from the windows now announced the approach of her 4 Majeaty , anti every eye was s t ra i ne d t o c atch' a g li m ps e o f the earriage. wnien at length entered St. James's -street, amidst simultaneous and enthusiastic cheers of the assembled utultitude, which were prolonged as her Majesty gra reionsly acknowledged the symptoms .of loyalty which were manifested. On passing St. James's Palace, about a t e arter before eleven o'clock, a short delay took-place in .con sequence, we urkrstood, of one of the traces of her Majesty's carriage giving way. This, however, was not regretted by the spectators, who were gratified with h more perfect view of her Majesty than they otherwise would have been, and who seemed to vie with each other in their demon-, etrations of attachment to her person. The accident having been remedied, the procession again advanced. PALL NiALL. This formed one of - il;;;OS a t'in — t"er . estin,r; districts in the whole line of the Orgeous procession. Here the ingenuity of the architect, the painter, the carpenter, the haberdasher, had been taxed to the utmost in the expression of the feelings of loyalty which unquestionably pervaded the universal population. At an early period of the day, the whole street was thronged by pedestrians and eque,trians of evcry descrip tion, whose gladsome features end joyous expressions denoted that they anticipated the glorious proceedings of the day. - We are informed that even as early as four o'clock, the pas_ s,eugers were far more numerous than is usually the care at the same hour in the afternoon ; and soliie thousands o people, anxious to obtain a peep at " the admired of al beholders" remained in the stations of which they had poti-,i teased themselves, for three or four hours. We mention this circumstance as one of the most convincing proofs of the general loyalty evinced throughout the day. The mornin appeared rather lowering, and a quantity of Hrt fill between eight and au, o'clock ; but while it damped 44! the appal•els it heither dapped the spirit nor the expression of the leytaty of that vast assemblage. By ten o'clock, howe ver, the sun shone forth ip his native maiest,r, and sliasitiard at once the Ornitlors rA)I.O , SJI . . tie'a, anti tne tears dna ferebedinsit (St he Majesty's Leal and true sultects. ' Evury window in the whole line of houses was, fur at least two hours previous to tbas attival itturgititeent R eagantry thrown open, and htudreds of England's fair leaed forth upon the multitudinous prepal'ations that were .making for the re ception of the youthful " Queen of Hearts." At all the public °Gees, clutsahousea, patsktet, &c., in Pon ytail, scaffoldings had been erected Cm the grandest and most extensive scale for the accommodation of S' the people who to honour's the occasion of a virgin Queen's Mau._ guration. Most of these thronged resorts possessed. attendant grooms for wines and refreshments, sehith were brought into requisition to a great extent, we believe throughout the day.; and many 'essre the sincere aspirations breathed forth for the happiness, the long-life and prosperity of her who en grosses the attraction of all Europe at the present moment. Myriads said in look and action if not in language— " May she live longer than we have time to tell her years, Ever beloved, and loving may her rule be, And when Old Time shall lead her to her end, Goodness and she fill up one monument." And the language and gesture of every one tolsl of anticipa tions of a long, felicitous, and peaceful reign. But tongue nor nen can tell appropriately one. fiftieth _part of all that claims notice in connection with this " Day of days." Suffice, it to say, that every thing which could possibly express the affections of a loyal people was called into requisition by the joyous inhabitant.. St. James's Palace, MarlborOugb Palace (the resi dence, of her Majesty the Queen DoWager), tPerceeal's music: ;stop, the Ordnance, and the Globe Office, presented attractive spectacles. The Oxford and Cambridge Club had scaffoldings meted capable of providhg accommodation for upwards of 600 members add friends efasthe institution ; and the -Carlton Club afforded', seats to upwards of 500 ladies and gentlemeu. The arrangements connected with the Italian. Opera were of the most supCrb description; and we must make honourable mention of the taste of the respective architects who superin tended the erections e Union Club, University Club , United Ser fi ce atcrloo House, &c. &c. About ten o'clock — i'f.e a the. a rtillery. in the Park announced to the pager expeetants along - the line her Ma— jesty's departure from Buckingham Palace; and about, half an hour afterwards the first part of the magnificent procession made its appearance. It is impossible fcr us to particularize the reception of the various august personages who consti tuted the pageatrry ; and we must confine ourselves to the following brief statement of facts :—Matshal Soult met with the Most rapturous gratulations of the whole people, forming the most conclusive answer to the unworthy attempts which have been made of late to excite a spirit of insult towards that illustrious Nobleman. The applauding which welcomed the arr - ral of the carriages of the Duchess of Kent and her attendants, and the Duke of Sussex and attendants, were of the most rapturous description. But the Queen ! Her re ception baffles 'every attempt At description. No sooner. did the people obtain a sight of the features of her Majesty, than " Such a noise arose As shrouds make it sea in the stiff tempest, As loud, and to as many tunes ; hats, cloaks, (Jackets, 'twel said) flew up, and had their faces Been loose this day they had been lost." Her Majesty felt sensibly the enthusiasm with which sspe was hailed, and returned the salutations by repeated bows to the as semblage on both sides as the procession passed along. . Everything passed off in the most happy manner; and in justice we state that the military and constabulary regulations were of the first order. CHARING-CROSS. As early as six o'clock the opposite space opposite Charing cross and Trafalgar-square was crowded to excess by persons of every rank and description, from the rich citizen to the poor mechanic, all anxious to- catch a glimpse of, and to chew their loyalty, to England's virgin Queen. The erec tions from this place to the Horse Guards are many of them tasteful in the extreme, especially at the Admiralty, where the accommodation for the ladies of the various tfficers of that de partment are very extensive. Along the whole of this line the smiling and : lovely faces of the beauty of England " Made us gaze wc• knew not where, Dazzled with beauty." The commencement of the procession arrived at Charing Cross at half-past ten o'clock, and this was the signal for the congreffated multitude to exercise might and right. Hun dreds who had patiently kept their places in the front since six o'clock were forced back, and it was with the greatest diffi culty the soldiers and police could prevent-incursions on the line set apart for the procession. On the arrival of the carriage of Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, opposite Drummond's house, the hero of " a hundred fights" was most ebainnnthkusigastically cheered. The veteran Marshal returned the nvuiiuc Wan the greatest grace, and "appearect nigniy de lighted with the attention paid him. The passing of the Dtichess of Kent's carriage was the signal for another rush, and we do firmly believe, that but for the police, the crowd would have carried their loyalty so far as to have forced their hands into the Royal carriage, in order to demonstrate their feelings by shaking hands with the mother of their be loved Queen. Her Royal Highnaps appeared highly delighted and repeatedly' acknowledged the enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty and respect towards her. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were greatly cheered, but the a pplause that was conferred upon the Duke of Sussex was beyond clow`ription ; it must have been, most'grateful to his R o v.l• wh.l appeared grarty of At ten minutes past 11 o'clock, her Majesty in the Royal State car riswe passed Charing Cross. At this montent the waving of handkerchiefs from every balcony and window, and the loud huzzas and demonstrations of loyalty from the congregated thousands below, pourtrayed a scene which it is impossible for pen to describe. Her Majesty appeared highly delighted, and repeatedly bowed is the most condescending manner. Upon the Royal Carriage arriving at the Admiralty, the acc l a mations of the assembled multitude were renewed. HORSE GUARDS. The Horse Guards, as well as all the other Government Offices, were crowded at every windOw and every house-top at a very early hour. Along Parliament-street there' were some very tasteful erections in front of the houses, which were generally covered with some device ; they were festooned, and branches of evergreens were judiciously interspersed, so as to give the whole line a very pleasing appearance, which was much heightened when they were filled with beautiful and smiling happy facet!. Amongst all, the largest and m os t testoful was that erected by the Reform Club. It gave accomtnodatice to 600 ladies and 500 Members . and Friends. • We understand that the Committee have resolved to afford refreshments to the whole of their visitors upon this auspicious occasion. in St. Margaret's Church-yard there was not an inch of *ace unoccupied, and every seat was filled befoee nine o'clock. No seats were, to be obtained for 2s. 6d. this morning as was the case upon the occasion of the Corona tion of George the Fourth. The head of the procession reached this point at eleven o'clock, and seemed to give pleasure to the whole of the vast multitude assembled, many saying that it was the finest pro cession which they had ever seen in this country or abroad. Marshal Soult was much cbeered as he passed along the lino, with which he seemed to be well pleased. - The Duchess of Kent was most enthusiastically cheered, the 'ladies all waving their handkerchiefs. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also cheered, and the immense' mass as sembled, most enthusiastically and cordially cheered the Duke of SuseeX. The meitttude of Reformers assembled in the Reform Club. ' House were so enthusiastic in their demonstrations of loyalty as to draw the special attention of our youthful Queen, who acknowledged it by repeated ,bows. As the Royal carriage progressed the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs were unbounded —every bet was doffed, and many were the blessings invoked upon the head of her yoUthful Majesty. Her Majesty arrived at the Abbey precisely at 32 mieutes past eleven o'clock. When she alighted, all the bands played the National Anthem. • The arrival was announce d at that moment by the firing of a gun. . The procession was most admirably conducted, and, so fares we, were able to learn, without a single accident. ' The line was kept by the police, assisted by the Guards ( Foot). The Royal Artillery Company, commanded by Col. Cox. were on duty in Parliament -street, and loudly cheered their Royal Colonel, the Duke of Sussex, as lie passed. HE NAVE. The great body of the general spectators were congregated in the Nave, along the bides of vihieh galleries were eon etructed rserangen an sraipbitheattical form, wieXitentrows of benches, risin abevoewse another, and calculated to hold at least 1,500 pereens. Very shortly after five o'clock, the hour at which the Abbey was opened, these galleries began rapidly to fill, and by seven o'clock were crowded. The spectacle presented by this vast audience was very striking. The diversified colours of the different dresses, Naval and Military .Officers in their respective uniforms, Clergymen in canonical robes, Civilians in endless variety of apparel—from the most orthodox full dress, to thie ordinary every-day gar ments (for the regulations as to full dress were by no means enforced, though none Were to be seen . who were not well attired)—and above all, the countless Luca which marked the dresses of the fair—all combined to render the scene at once I picturesque and pleasing. The patience of these spectators was to be zcverely tried by a -six hours' delay ; but there were not wanting numerous objects to divert their attention and wile away the tedious interval. Those more distinguished personages • who had seats in the choir had of course to pass up the nave, to reach their various destinations, and were &source ofperpetually changing attraction. Now, a Judge of the land, with elow and legel step, paced the floor ; then, a Peer of the Realm, arrayed in coronation robes of crimson velvet, edged with ermine, and coronet in'hand, not unfrequently with a real and unassumed dignity of port and bearing that forcibly reminded us of the " Knights and Barons bold" of by-gone ages ; and led Us fora moment to believe that " the age of chivalry" had not yet fled anon, still more attract's', came soma noble dame—her - splendid flowing train spreading around he in luxurious magnificence, her fair' and lofty brow bearing the impress of nobility, followed perhaps by some "lovely daughters of a -noble house," not unworthy of their ti tled ancestors ; officers, " in all the pomp and pride of glorious war ;" bishops and aldermen, pursuivants, gentlemen-at-arms Bete ten seven and eight corn passing in qvia succeseion, panics of foot guards arrived and lined the ball. Many of the Foreign Ambassadors now arrived ; and the novelty and rich ness of their dresses excited great admiration, not,however,equal ~to that which was awakened by the appearance of some of the lightlyyounger algh branches t e hall,seemed of e fen 'e wholearinisetaoreir.aateinyo,sof o a l‘,e sthelivnetrss andipped grace, their beauty needing not the aid of the costly gems that glitteredhe Attorney around n e tehrea ca'f'e n r er:o n i s.

Marshal roos.t cordially checked. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of CtamVidta and Kent - Wee enthusiastically received, especially the latter. Their Royal Illgbnes,sts tlati Dykes of Susses and Cambridge met with as hearty a reception. As did Royal . procession slowly wound its way between the lofty the spectacle presented was one as gorgeous and impressive as anythieg that could well be imagined.. When her most Gra cious Majes4 came within sight, the vast audience simaltaPe ously rose ; and a Shout " loud as from numbers without hum ber," rung through the venerable arches of the Abbey . , and was re-echoed by the multitudes without, testifying in sincere and heartfelt tones the loyalty and affection .with which the youthful and august monarch of these realms was regarded by hei thousands ofassembled subjects. Her Majesty, as she vvalked up. the Nave displayed perfect self-possession, returning the enthusiastic greetings with whickshe was received in a manner marked by that union of gentleness and dignity so characte-, ristic of her. Majesty. HA` Majesty was immediately pre. ceded by Lord Melbourne, and the Duke of Wellington (as Constable of. the Tower).—a circumstance which was re• marked by the spectators, and elicited no slight applause. On her Majesty's entering the Choir, the cheering was avail tea newed, and violated only put a atop to by the opening of the •Coronation Anthem. • The Great Of4cers of State, the Archbishops of Canter bury and-York, the Noblemen apptinted to carry the Regalia, all in their robes of estate, and the. Bishops who were to sup port her Nesty, as well as those who were to carry the. Bible, the Chalice, attd the . Patina, assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, adjoining the Deanery, before Ten o'clock, where the Regalia, )(laving been previously laid on 'the table, was . delivered by the Lord Chamberlain of the Household to the Lord High Constable, and by. him to the Lord Willoughby d'Eaestl, es Lord Great Chamberlain, and by his Lordship to the Noblemen by whom the same were borne in the fol lowing order, viz.:--- • REGALIA. First, St.. Edward's Staff, to the Duke of flozbergbe. Second, The Spurs, to the Lord Byron, Deputy to the Baroness Grey& Rtithyn. Third, The Sceptre with the Cross, to the Duke of. Cleve lend.

Eleventh, The Patina, to the Bishop of Bangor. Twelfth, The Chalice, to the Bishop of Lincoln. Thirteenth. The Bible, to the Bishop of Winebetter. The Dean and Prebendaries of Westminster were in the Nave, in readiness to join the proceeding nezt before the Officers of her Majesty's Household. Her Majesty, and the Princes and Princesses of the Blood Royal, attended by the officers of the household, having ar rived at the west entrance of the Abbey, her Majesty was re• ceived by the great otr.cers of States the Noblemen bearing the .regalia, and the Bishop carrying the patina, the chalice, and the Bible, _when her Majesty repaired to her robing cham ber, constructed on the right of the platform without the en trance. The Ladies of her household, and the officers of the Royal household, and of the respective households of the Princes and Princesses, to whom duties were not assigned in the solemnity, immediately proceeded to the places prepared for them respectively. ' Her Majesty having been robed, advanced up the me int, the choir; the choristers in the orchestra singing the anthem, " I was glad when they said unto rue, we will go into the house of the Lord," &c. At a quarter before 12 o'clock the head of the procession appeared issuing from the Royal entrance, under the organ; and advanced up the aisle in the following order : The Prebendaries and Dean of Westminster.
